Description
Peanuts surges into the 1970s with Schulz at the peak of his powers and influence: a few jokes about Bob Dylan, Women's Liberation and Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex aside, these two years are as timeless as Peanuts ever was.
Sally Brown elbows her way to centre stage, at least among the humans, and is thus the logical choice for cover girl. In her honour, the introduction is provided by Broadway, television and film star Kristin Chenoweth, who first rose to Tony-winning fame with her scene-stealing performance as Sally in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.
Two long summer-camp sequences involve Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty, who has decided that Charlie Brown is madly in love with her, much to his clueless confusion. Snoopy shows up at camp as well, as does Peppermint Patty's new permanent sidekick, the one and only Marcie. The eternally mutable Snoopy mostly shakes off his World War I Flying Ace identity and turns into Joe Cool, college hipster extraordinaire. He writes a fan letter to his favourite author, Miss Helen Sweetstory, then goes on a journey to meet her, and finally enlists Charlie Brown's help when her latest opus, The Six Bunny-Wunnies Freak Out, falls afoul of censors.
Also, Woodstock attends worm school, falls in love with a worm (perhaps the most doomed unrequited Peanuts love story ever!), and is nearly eaten by the neighbours' cat. Peppermint Patty is put on trial for another dress code violation. Snoopy turns Linus's blanket into not one but two sportcoats. Lucy hits a home run. And the birth of one Rerun Van Pelt!
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Publishers Weekly praises this volume as a delicious wallow in a nostalgic world filled with insight and memorable simplicity. The Daily Telegraph calls it beautifully designed and a high point of post-war popular culture. The Sunday Times notes Schulz's skill and subtle brilliance beneath the humour, while Salon highly recommends it to any Peanuts fan. This collection is celebrated for its timeless artistry, quiet melancholy, and broad cultural impact.
